title: [Results of surgical treatment of pulmonary metastases].
abstract: During the period from 1. 1. 1980-31. 12. 1989 71 patients underwent lung resection for pulmonary metastases. In 21 cases, the primary tumours were sarcoma, in 19 cases carcinoma of the kidney, and 14 cases of melanoma. There were 9 cases of testicular carcinoma, 5 of colorectal carcinoma, and in 1 case each larynx-, oesophagus-, and oral cavity-carcinoma. In 51 patients we could perform an atypical wedge resection, lobectomy was carried out in 19 patients. 1 patient underwent segmental resection. Hospital lethality counted with 0.7%. For all patients, the cumulative survivals revealed an one-year actuarial about 60%, a 3-year actuarial survival of 40%, and a 5-year actuarial survival rate of 38%.
